Well-bred 4-y-o who made a winning start to his career in a Doncaster bumper in March. Looked good when maintaining unbeaten record on hurdles bow at Hereford and there's more to come.

Did the job well when making a winning debut in a 10-runner bumper at Market Rasen in February. Knew his job when following up over hurdles 9 months later at that venue. Open to progress.

Runner-up sole start in points and looked something out of the ordinary when powering away to win an AW bumper. Too free in a Grade 2 in April but he good be a useful hurdles recruit. Hooded.

Minor promise only in 3 starts under Rules. One for the longer term.

Placed in Irish points and showed more than first time up under Rules when third in a slowly-run novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. That form isn't solid but he may do better still.

Hinted at temperament in a couple of Stratford bumpers and he has offered little both starts over hurdles at Chepstow and Taunton. Hard to make a case for in this company.

£135,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam smart 19f-3m hurdle/chase winner. Too green to show much in a bumper at Newton Abbot in October.

Fairly useful on Flat, stays 9f. Seemingly hard to train and didn't get very far on return from a long time off at Fontwell last month. Hood back on.

Forecasts

Balco Coastal (8/11), Moriko De Vassy (3/1), Black Poppy (5/1), Peejaybee (15/2), Gentleman At Arms (25/1), The Changing Man (50/1), Goleirihem (66/1), War Chief (125/1), Extraordinary Man (150/1), Paddy Husseys Taxi (250/1), The Turfaccountant (300/1)

Verdict

Last-time-out winners MORIKO DE VASSY and Peejaybee possess the scope to raise their game over hurdles, with marginal preference for the Tom Symonds inmate. The impression Balco Coastal created in an AW bumper is still fresh in the memory and he demands consideration now hurdling.

  1. MORIKO DE VASSY (FR)
  2. BALCO COASTAL (FR)
  3. PEEJAYBEE (FR)
